John Greets the Seven Churches
To the seven churches in [the province of] Asia:[fn]
Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven spirits[fn] before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, 6 [who] has made us {to be} a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him [be] the glory and power forever [and] ever! Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,[fn]” says [the] Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
1:4 Literally in Asia; Asia was a Roman province in what is now western Turkey.
1:4 Or the sevenfold Spirit
1:8 TR the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End
